|

|
|
it is important to have explicit control
|
||
|
|
over the representation of a structure. The <tt>:type</tt>
|
||
|
|
option allows one to specify that a structure must be implemented
|
||
|
|
in a particular way, using a list or a specific kind of vector,
|
||
|
|
and to specify the exact allocation of structure slots to
|
||
|
|
components of the representation.
|
||
|
|
A structure may also be ``unnamed'' or ``named,'' according to whether
|
||
|
|
the structure name is stored in (and thus recoverable from) the structure.
